However, Kendrick seems to have a different perspective on the matter. He was recently featured on Future and Metro Boomin's track "Like That," which was released in March. In the song, Kendrick dismisses the idea of a "big three" and boldly declares, "it's just big me." This statement has ignited a major feud between Kendrick and Drake, with both artists releasing back-to-back diss tracks.

Drake's "Pushups" takes aim at Kendrick's stature and skills

On April 13, Drake (real name Aubrey Drake Graham) dropped a diss track titled "Pushups," targeting Kendrick by referring to him as a "pipsqueak" and mocking his shoe size of seven in men's. Drake goes on to exclude Kendrick from the "Big Three" category, praising other artists over him and mentioning Kendrick's collaborations with Maroon 5 and Taylor Swift. Additionally, Drake throws shade at other musicians like the Weeknd.

Although Drake doesn't mention Kendrick by name in the track, DJ Akademiks introduces the diss. As the feud intensifies, both Kendrick and Drake become more direct in their attacks against each other.

Drake fires back with "Taylor Made"

On April 19, 37-year-old Drake released a follow-up diss track aimed at Kendrick titled "Taylor Made." Once again, Drake takes jabs at Kendrick's height, talent, and alleged association with Taylor Swift. 

Drake suggests that Kendrick has refrained from responding with his own diss track because he allowed Swift to release her album "The Tortured Poets Department" on the same day, giving her the spotlight.

"The first one really only took me an hour or two, The next one is really 'bout to bring out the coward in you, But now we gotta wait a f***ing week 'cause Taylor Swift is your new Top, And if you 'bout to drop, she gotta approve," Drake raps. 

Drake does, however, praise Swift as the "biggest gangster in the music game" and admits he also moved his album release date to allow hers to drop first.

"Taylor Made," however, featured AI-generated vocals from late rapper Tupac, and after Tupac Shakur's estate sent Drake a cease-and-desist, Drake removed the song from all platforms, according to Billboard.

Kendrick responds with "Euphoria"

On April 30, Kendrick, 36, responded to Drake's tracks with "Euphoria." In it, he takes ruthless jabs at Drake, who is the executive producer of the HBO show "Euphoria."

Kendrick criticizes Drake's parenting of his 6-year-old son, Adonis, rapping: "I got a son to raise, but I can see you don't know nothin' 'bout that." He says he teaches his son "morals, integrity, discipline," but says Drake doesn't do that for his own son. 

He also takes jabs at Drake's crew – OVO, or October's Very Own – and criticizes Drake, who is half white, for appropriating Black culture.

Kendrick's "6:16 in LA" produced by Jack Antonoff

Drake famously has several songs with times in the title, including "9AM in Dallas," "4pm in Calabasas," and "6PM in New York." The song's title is a direct reference to these Drake tracks and the inclusion of producer Jack Antonoff appears to be a direct response to Drake's "Taylor Made" song.

Antonoff is a frequent collaborator of Swift's, producing "Reputation," "Lover," "Folklore," "Evermore," "Midnights" and her newest album "The Tortured Poets Department."

Kendrick was featured on Swift's 2014 song "Bad Blood," which was on her "1989" album. 

On May 3, Kendrick, who is also known as K.Dot, released "6:16 in LA" on social media. In the song, he alleges people who work for Drake's OVO record label and apparel company dislike Drake and may be secretly working for Kendrick. 

Drake goes deeper with "Family Matters"

The same day Kendrick dropped "6:16 in LA," Drake released "Family Matters," a nearly eight-minute song in which he alleges one of Kendrick's children with longtime girlfriend Whitney Alford was actually fathered by his manager, Dave Free. 

He also alleges Kendrick alerted Tupac's estate about Drake's usage of an AI-generated Tupac verse. And, in another scathing line, he alleges Kendrick pays for sex. 

He also takes a jab at the Weeknd again and at rapper Rick Ross, saying that using Ozempic gave him a side effect of jealousy. 

"Meet the Grahams" alleges Drake has a secret child

One of the more scathing tracks in the ongoing feud, "Meet the Grahams," by Kendrick, was released on May 3. In the song, Kendrick directly addresses Drake's family members. To Drake's son, Adonis, he raps, "Dear Adonis, I'm sorry that man is your father."

Kendrick offers advice to Adonis, saying, "And you nothing like him, you'll carry yourself as king, can't understand me right now? Just play this when you 18."

He also has verses dedicated to Drake's mother and father. To Drake's mother, Sandra, Kendrick raps, "Dear Sandra, Your son got some habits, I hope you don't undermine them." And to Drake's father, Dennis, he says, "Dear Dennis, you gave birth to a master manipulator."

In a surprising revelation, Kendrick addresses a "baby girl," alleging that Drake has a daughter who is 11 years old and has been kept hidden from the public eye. He offers advice to the alleged daughter and describes Drake as a negligent father who allegedly pays for intimacy.

"I wanna tell you that you're loved, you're brave, you're kind, you got a gift to change the world, and could change your father's mind," Kendrick raps to Drake's alleged daughter.

Additionally, Kendrick includes a verse directly aimed at Drake, making further accusations about Drake's rumored gambling and drinking habits, citing Drake's previous comments about his own family as the reason for the response.

Kendrick Lamar Drops New Track "Not Like Us"

Recently, Kendrick Lamar released a new track titled "Not Like Us" on May 4th. In this song, Kendrick makes shocking accusations against Drake, alleging inappropriate behavior with minors. He also extends these allegations to Drake's associates while questioning Drake's artistic abilities.

Following the release of "Not Like Us," Drake swiftly responded in his latest track titled "The Heart Part 6."

Drake Claps Back in "The Heart Part 6"

Drake's retaliation came through his 2022 album "Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers," specifically in the track "The Heart Part 6" which dropped on May 5th. In this song, Drake addresses Kendrick's accusations, dismissing them and even denying claims about fathering a child.

Drake refers to Kendrick as "The Pulitzer Prize winner" in the song, hinting at Kendrick's historic win as the first rapper to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2017.

The track's cover art features a social media comment allegedly from Dave Free, whom Drake suggests is the real father of one of Kendrick's children. Drake goes on to label the sources of Kendrick's information as "clowns," asserting that his team planted false stories about an 11-year-old daughter to test Kendrick's reactions.
